Whether you love or hate her, there’s no denying that Taylor Swift has taken over the NFL. No one realized that when Swift started dating Chiefs’ tight end Travis Kelce it would attract an entirely new demographic to football. Swifties don’t understand the sport and it’s led to hilarious tweets about the league.
Let’s look at their attempts to process what they’re watching and relate it to their world. This comes with a slight warning because some of their opinions and questions will destroy the souls of diehard NFL fans. Nonetheless, it’s worth seeing what this fanbase is saying about Swift and the NFL.
